Occasionally, when the vehicle is in motion on a city street or hyway, the vsc trac sensor lights turning on and off and hearing grinding noise when it auto-engage and disengage and the vehicle loses power and slows down.
When cornering on a mountain road at a safe speed; the vsc traction control kicked in; this caused a grinding sound and the traction control light on the dash. caused vehicle to slow down; i pulled over to side of road checked wheels/tires undercarriage nothing found; proceeded to destination did not repeat. checked online; others have had similar issues.
On 11-08-16 during a pennsylvania state inspection for my 2005 toyota sequoia i was informed it would not pass because of frame rot. the dealer stated it went into service the end of january 2005. how could this be for an 11yr youcng toyota? the frame has rusted in several areas, the rust hole was rusted through from the inside. this vehicle was my choice for my wife and kids due to the reputation and longevity of toyota's vehicles. this is a major issue that needs to be resolved, as it is a major safety concern that could potentially be fatal if unchecked. what should me my future actions to this matter?- also , when in stop and go traffic, every light on the dash will go on, vsc,trac,abs, losing braking power and acceleration. no accident to date because of it's infrequence, but also a major concern!
When making a right hand turn at moderate speed the anti skid light comes on and the car looses power through the turn ... usually in neighborhood situations, but i have experienced it on interstate on ramps requiring a left turn followed by a gradual right banking turn.
Vsc vsc traction control lights comes on as well as the check engine light. the vehicle accelerates poorly. this makes for a very dangerous situation because the vehicle can slow dramatically at highway speeds. lights go off for a little while when the battery is disconnected but all lights and acceleration problems return shortly. owners have spent thousands of dollars replacing parts without a long term fix. spouse will no longer drive the vehicle because of this dangerous problem. totoya needs to fix this widespread problem.
My vehicle's traction control light was coming on periodically, and when that would happen the engine would cut out, & i would not be able to accelerate. i took it in to get it repaired. after the repairs i was driving at about 20 mph, and as i was breaking to turn a corner the abs, vbs, brake and traction control lights came on. my breaks made a grinding noise, the car began to shake, there were no breaks or steering control, and the engine cut out. this was very dangerous as i had no control and was on a city street in front of a park with children, and i had my son with me. luckily i wasn't going very fast as the speed limit is 25 mph, and i was approaching the park and my street to turn on to. i was able to get stopped by hitting a curb but couldn't get control of the vehicle otherwise.
Mileage is 76,500 and driving on city street and my vsc trac, vsc off and break light comes on with a grinding noise. i pulled the car on the side and turn off the car. ever since the vsc trac, vsc off and break light are always on. i went online and i see a lot of sequoia owners have the same problem. is there a recall on this??
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 toyota sequoia. while driving approximately 30 mph, the vsc trac warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 141,008.
I experienced a problem with engine warning and vsc trac off lights going on. the check engine light also came on. my family and i were on a trip and our sequoia all of a sudden lost power. it slowed down dramatically even though the engine was fine. it was a very dangerous situation because we were on an interstate where the speed is 70 mph. i also experienced all the brakes making a massive grinding noise while going slow into a restaurant. (the brakes have less than 3000 miles on them.) the parking brake light also comes on periodically.
I have vsc trac, vsc off, and check engine. if you give it a lot of fuel, it just sounds like it wants to go, but it doesn't translate into power in the rear end. i use my code reader and it showed codes p1441 and p1444. says i may have: a) faulty vacuum switching valve (vsv) for air injection control circuit, b)faulty air switching valve number 2, or c)faulty vsv for air injection system. this is the second time this happened to my sequoia, and this seems to be a recurring issues for toyota sequoia owners and in fact it is a recurring issues for other models as well. this cost me approximately $2200 last time and now 2 years later it is back for another $2200 to repair. it's all the over the internet about this vsc trac, vsc off, and check engine, it needs to be recalled!
I get constant warning lights for brake, vsc and trac. this is a very common problem with the sequoia. it shuts down those safety features.
Check engine light on. vsc trac light on. vsc trac off light on. mechanic checked codes and replaced #6 coil as well as replacing spark plugs. drove it home and all lights came on again. vehicle in motion when lights appeared city street, highway , gravel lights on.
The vsc trac, vsc off, brake, and abs lights all come on all at once. this has happened numerous times since i first bought the used suv in may 2013. it worries me as i am on the freeway not knowing what will happen. not sure how this will affect my vehicle in the long run. it normally comes on when i drive the vehicle for more than one hour at a crawling speed. for example, there have been times the freeway hits a rush hour moment and everyone will start rolling/crawling with their vehicles. as this happens, the lights will come on at least two times in a 30 minutes to one hour time frame.
A couple of days ago, when i was driving on the highway, my sequoia suddenly stopped accelerating. trac light and vsc light and check engine light came on. my speed would not go above 40mph and would not even brake. i was in the left lane and the cars behind me were going pretty fast and almost hit me. i am lucky there was no car in the right lane, so i pulled to that lane just in time. it was a scary moment for me because my kids were with me also. i always thought of toyota of having safety in their cars, but when i came home to research what might be happening to the car, i found out many people are having the same exact problem and thus it is a manufacturers problem. i am suprised toyota is not doing anything about this. do they not care of the safety of the consumers? the milage on my sequoia is only 39,000 and i do not drive it too often, and also have maintained it very well. we spend so much money on this car and this vehicle really was ...
Oyota sequoia 2005 engine light on ,vsc off light and trac vsc light on. these complaints are about this problems http://www.automotiveforums.com/t544406-sequoia_vsc_trac_problem.html,http://www.carcomplaints.com/toyota/sequoia/2003/electrical/vsc_trac_lights_are_on.shtml,here are tons of other complaints on this problem and it is not limited to our year model. if all of the complaints were compiled in one area and presented to the ntsb, i'm sure that toyota would be forced to deal with this issue and correct it. its a big issue estimated cost for that around $ 2000 to $ 5000 i don`t know if u investigate or no .i am not going to get this issue repair until i will hear from you .please take it seriously
